Do you still believe that there is only 1 version of the quran? Do you still believe that there are no changes in the quran and the quran is still the same as Mohammed dictated it to his sahabas? Do you still believe that there are no ayah missing in the quran? Do you still believe that that surah alfathiha is part of the 7th century quran? If you do, you have been scammed by the Arabs.
after you can't refute the fact that muslims are the majority you retorted to this. We read same Quran worldwide

Christianity EtcRe: Why So Many Versions Of The Quran - Quranic Corrections by Empiree:
My question is, why are you being dishonest?. It is not news to muslims and non-muslims that Hadith is secondary source of information in Islam. And you are well aware Hadith contains valid information and fake ones.
true2god:
I quoted sahih bukhari and sunnah ibn majjah and you said they are 'fabricated and controversial stuff'. So you are aware that your hadith is filled with 'fabricated and controversial stuff' but yet you keep quoting it to validate you points. This is called HYPOCRISY. Islam is filled with 'bait and switch' strategy, depending on the circumstance a muslim find himself. It is intellectually dishonest to validate an argument using a particular book, when it suits you, and call same book 'fabricated and controversial stuff'.
Again, chain of narrations is Hadith did not link to the holy prophet Muhammad (saw). This alone makes the Hadith questionable.

All versions of the hadith are based on the following chain of narrators:

‘Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm, from ‘Amrah bint ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan, from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her). The isnaad ends with her and does not go back to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah upon him).

The hadith was taken from ‘Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr by a number of narrators and their narrations are as follows:


1.

It was narrated by Yahya ibn Sa‘eed al-Ansaari. His version says: It was revealed in the Qur’an that ten definite breastfeedings are required (to establish the relationship of mahram), then it was also revealed that five definite breastfeedings are required.

This was narrated by Imam Muslim in his Saheeh (no. 1452) and others. We may note that this version does not say anything about the story of the goat or tame sheep eating any of the pages of the Holy Qur’an.




2.

It was narrated by Imam Maalik (may Allah have mercy on him). His version says: Among that which was revealed of the Qur’an was the ruling that those ten definite breastfeedings are required to establish the relationship of mahram, then that was abrogated and replaced with five definite breastfeedings. When the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) died, this was among the things that were recited in the Qur’an.

This was narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta’ (Kitaab ar-Ridaa‘, hadith no. 17), and via him by Imam Muslim (1452) and others. We may note here that the report of Imam Maalik from ‘Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr also does not include any mention of the story of the goat or tame sheep eating anything of the Mus-haf. Rather one sentence is added to it at the end: When the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) died, this was among the things that were recited in the Qur’an.


3.

The third version of the story, without wasting my time posting it says, it is odd and in conflict with the first two above. So scholars considered weak or fabricated. Here is nothing like a goat or sheep came in and are part of Quran. Load of crap





if you can condemn your own hadith as being 'fabricated and controversial stuff', what legitimacy does Islam has as a true religion? Over 80% of Islamic teachings, laws and practices are in the hadith and not the quran. Thid should give you a course for concern.
All major practices in Islam and rulings are mentioned in the Qur'an and elaborated by Hadith. Which means the first source of Islam Quran sits in judgement over Hadith. Hadith is subordinate and no matter how controversial is can be it is far more better times 100 over Bible. I know this is what's really paining you. Kpele undecided

I have no time going back and forth on a statistic provided by the america's CIA. The fact is that religion is not included in our national census so I wonder where CIA get their estimated figure from. As I said earlier, it is a subjective conclusion that the demographics of Nigeria's religious affiliation is 50% (Muslims), 40% (Christians) and 10% (others). There is no any available data to validate this claim.
Story story... But if this data was attributed to muslim authority you would be different.

Christianity EtcRe: Why So Many Versions Of The Quran - Quranic Corrections by Empiree:
true2god:
Who guarded it, you or allah? Your Islamic source document always proove you wrong.

(Goat ate a copy of the quran)
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed1, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it (sunnah ibn Majjah 1944)

(verses of the quran cancelled)
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
For thirty days Allah's Apostle invoked Allah to curse those who had killed the companions of Bir-Mauna;
he invoked evil upon the tribes of Ral, Dhakwan, and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and His Apostle. There was reveled about those who were killed at Bir-Mauna a Quranic Verse we used to recite, but it was cancelled later on. The Verse was: Inform our people that we have met our Lord. He is pleased with us and He has made us pleased.(sahih bukari 4:52:69).

Narrated Tawus:
Ibn 'Abbas said, "Allah's Apostle set out from Medina to Mecca and he fasted till he reached 'Usfan, where he asked for water and raised his hand to let the people see him, and then broke the fast, and did not fast after that till he reached Mecca, and that happened in Ramadan." Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "Allah's Apostle (sometimes) fasted and (sometimes) did not fast during the journeys so whoever wished to fast could fast, and whoever wished not to fast, could do so."

Narrated Nafi:
Ibn 'Umar recited the verse: They had a choice either to fast or to feed a poor person for every day, and said that the order of this Verse was cancelled.(sahih bukhari 3:31:169-170).

You claimed that your quran is 'perfectly preserved' but your hadith says otherwise. Who do I believe, you or your Islamic source documents? If you want more proves that your quran is not complete, i will do that for free.
you like quoting fabricated and controversial stuff. Quran is the only authority. If Quran is saying A and Hadith is saying B, which do we believe?. Our methodology is we use Quran if hadith conflicts with it. Hadith can never sit in judgement over Quran laelae. So this are just stories written by people who had selfish interest. They would fabricate Hadith and claimed a companion or wife of prophet said it to make it sound reputable. What a load of crap!

This is how you know it is fabricated. Look at the first which claimed goat ate copy of Quran . Which paper? Paper did not even exist. Quran was written on different fragments or particles which included bones. Paper was not one of them. Goat don't eat bones. Besides this story did not trace back to the prophet himself. And according to Bible, no one can tell story better except oneself. So only prophet muhammad (saw) could validate this but he didn't say anything about it.


Your Bible says in John 8:18 King James Version (KJV)

I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.


Which means only Allaah and prophet could validate this fake story but they didn't. So it is fake story. Not only that but the rest. I know how evangelical Christians work. They love to quote trash.

AbuuBilaal:
Many of those Oro worshippers will have Muslim names. Perhaps some of them have gone for Hajj.

Although many Yorubas claim to have accepted Islam, the fact is that only a few have completely left their idolatry.

Rather, the official religion of virtually all Yoruba societies is idolatry.

Now you know why the typical northerner doesn't reckon with the Islam of a Yoruba man.

I once travelled to Owerri and to be candid, the Igbo Muslims are more sincere about their Islam than the Yoruba Muslim.
very sad. These are not muslim. They openly declared their other beliefs. Whether they have muslims name or not is irrelevant. It had always been the case for donkey years. You would hear Buraimo(Ibrahim), Muraina(Imran) and so on.

Despite dawah for decades in Yorubaland they are very stubborn. As sheikh Akindele rightly said, if Filipino visit Hajj they usually revert to Islam. But if Yoruba man goes to Hajj he returns home and retains his kufr beliefs. Well, they have the right to practice their religion but if it has to disturb or conflict other citizens it must be banned from holding public possession.

The muslims just need to be firm and have very strong cooperation to deal with them just like the time of Alfa Apalara in 1955. Otherwise, these oloro people will kill muslims and get away with it as usual. Looks like they are making comeback and getting bold recently. In the 80s and early 90s Muslims kicked them in the butt. They were so afraid of Islam.

Abrahamic religious text have no real significamce towards real history

Theres only one Abrahimic religious character that history books acknowledge that may have exist, he was said to be leader of a medieval rebel special force unit, yet, that proves that he is fake.

The early Islamic scholars that invented their muhammedian movement, did so, in order to escape domination from Rome.

There are no characters in Abrahamic text that can claim to be original; if they wasnt stolen, they was plagerised, sex-up or outrightly fabricated.

This is deep just like your reply in that other thread. But what is the nature of this calculation ? Is it in anyway related to modern mathematics like geometry, algebra etc or there's particular ancient mathematical calculation been use for such endeavor.

I think one area if research would have been to investigate some earlier prophets that have done similar activities. And to the best of knowledge I haven't come across such discuss. It would be nice knowing how this been used before.

I will download and watch the clip you send.
There are still more knowledgeable Alfas in ilorin and other places(young and old) who sincerely know this. I believe it is more ancient mathematical calculation. Many Alfa don't want to discuss this subject openly anymore due to currently trend. They just preach openly what people want to hear and what is in harmony with their level of understanding.

In order to get clarity I contacted a young Alfa I talked about earlier in this thread regarding iyepe tite and khalwa. After he finished with his explanation I said to him this is what I understood growing up as a child. I asked him why then modern Muslims simply takfir this branch of Islamic knowledge?. He said "Ife Inu coupled with aimokan" is their problem. But sometimes their objection is understandable bcuz of charlatans. So basically, ghulu on both sides are condemned.

Really, modern mathematics are logical deductions from ancient mathematical calculation. So when Nabi Muhammad (saw) said salat of the one who visited soothsayer is suspended for 40days he's referring to the first two.
IslamRe: ...... by Empiree:
LadunaI:
Interesting question actually. Can you further explain the detail how this yepe tete is been done. The closely related thing I ever read regarding this is in Sahih Muslim when Holy Prophet(saw) said that whosoever his endeavor agree with some early prophet (as) then that would be ok.

I can't recall vividly the hadith, I will have to research again and dig it out. But the aspect of it that is tantamount to fortune telling would be strongly forbidden by sharia.
JazakaAllahu Khayran. You are very correct. Read this thread if you can. Let me remind you that ikupakuti explained some details regarding fortune telling and I quoted him recently bcuz i found them interesting. He said whether it is istikhara recommended in islam or aworawo or the use of Jinn and all sorts of ayewo are fortune telling. He then analysed halal from haram. Ikupakuti was very correct.

That said, those who go against iyepe tite are either deliberately decided to confuse and misguide people or they are ignorant of the subject. Iyepe tite is not haram PROVIDED it is in line with what nabi said in Sahih Muslim. In sahih muslim nabi(SAW) was asked 2 or 3 types of fortune telling including the use of sand (iyepe tite). Answers given by nabi (SAW) for first and second forms indicate they are haram which include using Jinn. But when questioner asked about the use of sand (iyepe tite) his answer was different. So the hadith you are looking for is attached below. Also if you can, watch sheikh Al-Misr brief lecture and Q&A and someone asked him about iyepe tite. He refuted many misconstrued practices condemned by 'puritans'. Please watch if you can. You may watch iyepe tite from 1:15:00



So the expanation for iyepe tite as i knew as a child is not about looking into future or that jinn resides inside the sand and telling you future. It is absolute nonsense. Iyepe tite is old fashioned 'calculator' where they already studied numbers and possible result just like today scientists predict many thing based on calculations. That is all about iyepe tite. Nothing more. The problem is some people go a little further and turned it to something else seeking 'future'. This is what Sheikh Yahya Solati condemns in the video above when he said "ati enito teyepe ati enito lo yewo ina ni sose". But appearance and reality are opposite of each other which means if you see Mr. A drawing something on sand and Mr. B also does the same, this is appearance and it is the same. But reality is Mr. A is into hisab while Mr. B involves with unseen.


So it is irrational for any muslim to quickly condemn a muslim just bcuz you see him drawing on sand. Drawing we are talking about is written in arabic usually not "eji ogbe". They also draw Muhammad and Allah in arabic and then draw name(s) of waliy etc. This is basically tawasul. It has nothing to do with fortune telling. I grew up knowing these things. My sheikh also used tira written by medieval scholars. This tira is equivalent to modern aircraft trackers. I remembered clearly in 1995 when his first son travelled out of the country to Brussels. That time, you know technology was not as it is now and there was no cell phones. So my sheikh and his friend dug out this tira after waiting for days and heard nothing about his whereabout. It was very late night and i was nosy enough to hear their convos. So they were reading this tira and added whatever hisab they found therein. First their result showed his son was in problems but it was not clear. At this point my sheikh was scared and he couldn't even sit down. His friend consoled him and read further. Here comes sad news while reading. The tira says '....bla bla bla bla bla al maut". Of course his name was added with which they arrived at every result. When my sheikh seen the word 'maut' (death), he bursted into tears and gave up. His friend consoled him again that he is not done. They were reading this tira and at the same time had their pen and paper to document and calculate. Mhen, i cried too even though they knew not i was around snitching on them. They finally read everything and properly did the hisab and came to conclusion that there was indeed difficulties but nothing major. Just after they finished and hoped for the best, his son called (landline) that there was no problem except that he was briefly detained bcus of strange object found in his luggage. Strange object immigration officials found was eja kika ati yiyan grin cheesy (baba ijebu thing). They wanted to investigate it. That was all.


So where is fortune telling in this?. Our modern alfas need to be careful of putting on boxing gloves with fellow muslims on subject they do not understand. You can see from the hadith it doesn't haram iyepe tite provided it is in harmony with similar narration above.

IslamRe: ...... by Empiree: 11:35pm On Jul 26, 2019
Still open for discussions

Empiree:
Salaam Alaikum,

Let's talk about "iyepe tite" and khalwa (seclusion)


Allegations:


* Iyepe tite is ebo (shirk)? What does iyepe tite entails? Is there authentic version and is there counterfeit version or it is only one version?. Does Islam approves of this?. What's your opinion?.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu8GbNBBAE0&t=24s



* Khalwa: it is alleged that Sheikh Ahmad Tijani(ra) was in seclusion for 40 days or 40 years. I don't know which one. Whichever it is, there is hadith which impedes this practice. The hadith criticizes whoever misses three (3) consecutive Jummah. So does Khalwa means staying in seclusion without attending jummah weekly or praying daily obligatory salat in jamaat invalidates khalwa?. Is this khalwat valid?.


* What is valid khalwa in sharia?
